Mopbucket,
It cracks me up just writing that crazy name and the picture's something else..anyway, what I was going to say was regarding the small generator you have. Anything electrical may be useless because of the Electro Magnetic Pulse that may be emitted in the atmosphere if there's a nuclear blast or a massive solar eruption which is also possible. The generator would have to be well insulated & protected against this, wrapped in foil etc, maybe some body with more expertise would explain better on this.
It may be a good idea to get people with different skills together.., such as nurses, farmers/gardeners, builders, herbalist and so on, as space will be very limited and people will want families along....so some sort of criteria has to be met, and unfortunately very tough decisions made. Pragmatism and compassion are not great companions.
I'm off to the pub with Feardia.
